CycleBeads are an easy way to use a natural family planning method. They make it simple for a woman to track her cycle and clearly identify the days she could become pregnant and the days when pregnancy is most unlikely. Cycle Beads are based on a natural family planning method that is more than 95% effective when used correctly.
Why Choose CycleBeads? CycleBeads are an innovation in family planning. They are easy to use, highly effective, inexpensive, cause no side effects, and can be used to either plan or prevent pregnancy.
Easy to Use CycleBeads make natural family planning easy. To use CycleBeads a woman simply moves a ring over a series of color-coded beads that represent her fertile and low fertility days. The color of the beads lets her know whether she is on a day when she is likely to be fertile or not. To find out more about how CycleBeads work, visit the How They Work section of our website.

Use CycleBeads to Plan or Prevent Pregnancy CycleBeads can be used to achieve pregnancy or avoid pregnancy depending on the needs of the woman using them. To achieve pregnancy, a woman and her partner can easily determine which days she is most likely to become pregnant. To avoid pregnancy, a woman and her partner can choose to either use another method or not have intercourse on fertile days.
